What's interesting is that Google is developing a special version of chrome on Android that supports extensions
https://www.androidauthority.com/try-new-chrome-for-android-with-extensions-3569268/
After they neutered extensions with manifest v3, why even bother?
But it's kinda useless because it doesn't support the most important extension: uBlock Origin.
It did work tho? I was able to install ubock origin and it worked fine
I mean, I haven't tried it, but since Google is forcing their limited version of Manifest v3, you can only get "uBlock Origin Lite" on the Chrome Extension Store.
It does block some ads, but it's quite limited compared to proper uBlock Origin.
Huh I'm using unlock origin on edge which also uses manifest v3 now I think? I haven't seen any performance hits or more ads
Hmm, can you right-click on a webpage and then select an element to block?
That's one of the limitations in Chrome, that it's not possible to add filter rules dynamically anymore, which also means they can't auto-update the filter lists without shipping a new version of the uBlock Origin, if I understand correctly.
The other limitation is that the number of static filter rules that can be shipped with an extension is rather limited. So, it's possible that if you mainly use popular webpages, that you're still generally covered, but that some cosmetic rules fell by the wayside, or that you occasionally see ads on smaller webpages.
But it is also well possible that Edge allows for a higher number of static filter rules. That should be trivial to change.
Well, and they could still support Manifest v2 or might support additions to the v3 standard, so that dynamic loading of filter rules is possible again. (I believe, Mozilla has already specified additions for that, which Microsoft could just implement.)
Sorry for the late reply but yeah I am able to block elements on edge still. I went on https://www.sonyalpharumors.com/ which I think is a relatively obscure site? I don't think I ever used static filter rules so I cant comment on that.
Hmm, apparently Edge still supports Manivest v2: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/extensions/developer-guide/manifest-v3#manifest-timeline-for-microsoft-edge-and-partner-center
The text reads like it's been AI-generated, so not sure if any of this information is worthwhile or up-to-date, but it seems to be the official source for this kind of information, so I would hope they'd update it, if anything changed...
